I promise

Chapter 772

Yuzhou, on Montenegro.

Autumn in the north is deeper than in the south.

The Black Rock Mountain, which was dotted with green sporadically two months ago, is now completely bare.

Occasionally, a few stalks of decayed grass protruded from the crevices of the rocks, and also broke their crisp yellow bodies in the strong autumn wind, rustling and hanging, showing the depression in the mountain more and more.

There are people walking on the rugged mountain road.

The old man walked steadily, holding the woman's arm, and walked down the mountain step by step.

"Father." Qu Yu'er suddenly called out.

Qu Ya stopped the steps he was about to take, looked at his daughter's face of hesitation, was silent for a moment, and let go of his hand.

Qu Yu'er turned around, facing the distant mountain.

The mountain wind stirred the dark fence, and under the white gauze was a white silk cloth tied above the bridge of the nose.

She has no eyes.

But she just stood like this, in a gazing posture on the hillside.

"Ah Chen is watching us." She said.

"Yes," Qu Ya said, "he has been there, watching us go."

Already far away.

Even with Qu Ya's eyesight, which can catch eagles and rabbits, he can only see a very vague shadow.

But he knew that his daughter was not talking nonsense, she could really feel Jin Yanchen's presence.

——The brightest thing in the world is not the eye, but the heart.

"In the past, I watched him go, but today, he also sent me off."

Qu Yu'er's voice was a little hoarse, with a thin trace of sadness flowing in the rustling, like a thin mist floating in the mountains, if there is nothing, it can't be touched, but it really exists.

"He has made a decision and has important things to do." Qu Ya said, "Daddy is old and can't help him anymore. He just wants to be in the desert and be with you for the rest of his life."

Qu Yuer smiled: "Father, I have seen the prosperity of Middle Earth and the magnificent rivers and rivers, but the wind and sand in the desert are better."

Qu Ya sighed: "It's fine if you don't regret it."

Qu Yu'er shook her head, and finally "looked" at the shadow on the top of the mountain, turned around, took her father's hand, and moved down the mountain in small steps.

Even if separated by thousands of mountains, her heart will go over the mountains, following Ah Chen, and staying by his side.

He would be better off without her.

When she is not around, he will miss her sometimes, with a free nostalgia, which is not the husband's responsibility to his wife.

***
Sunset and mountain air are cold.

In the black stone towering stone fortress, a tall and thin figure walked alone with the setting sun.The black gown swelled in the mountain wind, making the sound of hunting.

He walks calmly, although people are moving, but he is like a fossil that has not moved for thousands of years.

Yan Ming stayed in the stone hall, holding a white round fan, fanning the heat rising from the thick brown soup in front of her eyes.

The timing was just right, when Jin Yanchen entered the door, the soup was neither cold nor hot, it was just warm.Jin Yanchen doesn't like to take small sips of medicine, and is used to drinking a whole bowl without taking a breath.

"Miss Ning has come."

Yan Ming said, "It is said that Xiaoyi'er has a cold, but it's not serious. After taking the medicine, she's much better. She's not going to send Xiaoyi'er here today because she's afraid that the sickness will overwhelm the Holy Master."

Jin Yanchen's expression remained unchanged.

Ning Weishuang is a delicate and transparent person, knowing that he will not be in a good mood today, so she finds a reason to hide.There is nothing to worry about letting her take Yao Yi with her.

He walked towards the back room, passed the room where Qu Yu'er lived, and stopped for a while.

The door was not closed tightly, and looking in through a crack, one could see the slightly crude furnishings in the room.On the table are several clay dolls, a pipe and a comb.

The curtains, tables and chairs seem to still have the breath of the owner.

He didn't stop for a short while, only to feel empty in his heart, so he quickened his pace and went inward.

The next one is his bedroom.

Because he was seriously injured, he often coughed at night, Qu Yu'er couldn't see things, couldn't take care of him, and was disturbed by him instead, so these days, the two mostly lived separately.

He thought that Qu Yu'er still cared about Qing Yu and his opinion.Even if she knew that she knew, Dou Cunxu couldn't do anything to her.

It was unbearable to think about these things.

——How incompetent he is to let a woman who has given him the most tolerance and loves him the most, be hurt like this!
His dormitory was always empty and unfurnished.

There is a large desk in the middle of the house, full of books and letterheads.Xu Younan carved out a space among the stacks of books, put a fruit plate on it, and peeled and ate the oranges with relish.

Xu Younan never treated his mouth badly, whether it was talking or eating.

Yuzhou is north of the Yangtze River and does not produce citrus, especially in this season, it is not easy to eat a fresh tangerine.

"Are you back?" Xu Younan raised his head and smiled at Jin Yanchen, "It's autumn, walking outside, it's time to add some clothes."

Jin Yanchen didn't speak.

Xu Younan wasn't talking too much, it's because he fell into the water and fell ill, and he is still afraid of the cold.

In order to get out of the whirlpool under the Yunyun Rock, he, who has lived in the desert for a long time and is desolate, followed the boatman Chen Baoshi down to the dark turbulence of the Yangtze River.

At that time, he had not recovered from the Danhe poison in his body, so he could only stimulate his physical strength by taking Shenghua Wan continuously.

Behavior that violates the natural instinct of the human body is naturally extremely harmful to the body.Later, he suffered a serious illness and lost weight rapidly, only then did he know how much Mu Dianke suffered silently in the battle of destroying willows.

He didn't know it then and didn't treat her kindly.

The two women he loved the most and the two women who loved him the most were both injured because of him and left.

There was a stack of letters on the long case, all of which were newly delivered, and Jin Yanchen opened them up to read one by one.

The first letter was from Wang Changlin, saying that he has now established himself in Qingzhou, but due to the entanglement of local forces, it may be difficult to open Qingzhou's situation within a year or two.

"Wang Changlin has some skills."

Xu Younan didn't seem to read the letter, and knew what was written in the letter, "Qingzhou is a den of bandits, merchants and bandits are open to it, and the interests are established, so it is difficult for outsiders to get a piece of the pie. He has only been there for a few days, and he can stabilize his business. When you get up, you have some real skills... don't worry."

Jin Yanchen was not in a hurry.

Unlike the impatience he had to remind himself to suppress when he was dormant in the desert, he is really not in a hurry now.

——Knowing that his vengeance is such a big one that if he is not careful, he will be smashed to pieces, but he can calm down and fight steadily one step at a time.It doesn't matter one year or two years, or longer, as long as he is alive, there will always be a day when he will get revenge.

And the reason why he set his sights on Qingzhou, knowing that it was a difficult bone, he insisted on gnawing it off, in addition to liking Qingzhou's mountainous and sea-facing location, and because it is located on the border of many countries, it has been difficult for one government to govern in all dynasties. The bandit abounds.

Now that his reputation has been ruined, he has been attacked by both the imperial court and the martial arts, so he has to temporarily hide from the edge and stay dormant.Qingzhou, a place where it is difficult for the government and the forces of the rivers and lakes to intervene, is undoubtedly the best place for him to escape hunting and accumulate strength.

His plan is to support Wang Dalin to gain a firm foothold in Qingzhou first, and then let the follow-up people enter after he has money and food guarantee.

At that time, according to the dangers of the mountains, soldiers will be hidden to smelt iron, and the local bandit forces will be gathered together to train a powerful armed force of their own.

The royal families of Beiguo and Yandi are sparing no effort to win him over, this is certainly a shortcut.But his ambition has never been to be a strategist or thug of any family.

If he wants revenge, he must make himself irreplaceable, and at any time and under any circumstances, no one can interfere or influence his behavior.

The next few letters were written by Ming Palace's intelligence officers in various places in the Central Plains.

Before deciding to break the embankment, Jin Yanchen knew that no matter whether he ignited the explosives in Ranshan's body or not, Mu Cangping would use this flood to make him an enemy of the whole country.

In order to prevent Mu Cangping from taking the opportunity to wipe out all the forces of the Ming Palace, he urgently ordered the personnel of the Ming Palace scattered all over the place, including Jinyihang, which had penetrated deep into the enemy at that time, to stop all activities, not to communicate with each other, and to wait quietly. The next wake-up command issued by him personally.

Mu Cangping was busy inviting names. Before the construction of the Yangtze River embankment was completed, he would not be able to deal with the Ming Palace for the time being. This part of his strength could be preserved for future use.

Actions in various places were very fast: spies entered into ambush; contact points were closed; gambling houses and banks changed hands, and money was secretly transported into secret vaults... all traces that could be traced were erased.

But as the letters were opened and read one by one, Jin Yanchen's eyes became more and more alert, and his eyes became colder and colder.

"Luoyang, why didn't you hear back?" He asked coldly.
